"My soap operas and my music were a great success in Brazil, but Gugu created the love story between audiences and artists. He made that love stronger with each of my visits. Gugu united so many hearts, with joy, with celebration, with music. He entertained us with his unique style."
"I know that today, wherever he is, he will be entertaining and having a big party around him," she continued. "An era ends with him, when television reigned over the internet and where the great family of Brazil enjoyed their artists in front of the screen at the hands of our Gugu. I am very nostalgic and sad about this one. Thanks for so much my dear, Gugu!"
